Nice move, but keep in mind that you should not exceed 50 percent of your inverter capacity and I'm guessing you are using lithium battery with enough panels.
A 1500w cooker should be your priority or induction cooker that you can regulate to output 1000w to 1500w.
I normally use my 4.2kw Powmr inverter to power 1500w water heater, 1 hour daily at peak sun hours.

shey you observe say na aJeBo (Hybrid) inverter e dey use. I no talk say e no go carry am; na make e no stress the thing. As for the brand, what do I even know

Dam5reey:
Your Inverter will be fried instead.. Use better brand of inverter minimum 6kva for cooking.

There is a 63amp breaker, but doesnt trip. So na to dey monitor and trip off before full charge if i am to continue using it?

I think you misunderstand the reason for this thread, it's for sharing experience and knowledge. Are you speaking from experience in this particular matter? If so your experience would be helpful, if not it really doesn't help as it's just theory.

I understand the part of solid state heating elements stressing an inverter that depends on mosfets for the DC - Ac conversion stage, especially as it's a 24v inverter, hence it has to deal with high current to achieve it's target output.

Even though this may be a beating on the inverter it will handle it. It currently handles an electric kettle in the morning (1800 watts)- 3 session, 1 hp pumping machine.

However, I understand that the above items draw on the inverter is short, electric kettle- 10 mins max, pumping machine 30mins max. In the case of cooking it most likely will be longer, hence my original request for advice on energy efficient options.

By the way I have 2 ajebo inverters, one for redundancy

Good evening,

I find myself with a peculiar but pleasant problem- Redundant excess power.

I don't use an AC unit, no plans for that now, am looking to utilize this energy towards cooking( help cut down the LPG bills )

Am seeking recommendations from anyone currently using their setup for cooking on energy efficient options available.

Inverter is a 4.2kw sunfield hybrid.

I'm interested to know about this, as I intend getting the maxi cooker.

However, I'm using Bread 3.5kva 24v inverter,

Thank you!

Ferdiwar:
Is the 63amp breaker AC or DC?

Also confirm the voltage rating of the breaker as if it is way higher than the battery rating, then nothing will happen whenever a high voltage is sent to the battery.

FEGEITOK:
If it trips off, I allow the battery to discharge a bit through usage and then you can turn the breaker on again, failing which you will simply run down your battery.

Or discover that the remaining runtime has been severely limited

Jefferyzz:
Also 230v max voc?

Fremlin:
I have this exact cooker on my 4.2kwa powmr hybrid inverter and the inverter handles it well.

Now my issue is with fouani service center asaba Delta State. The cooker developed an issue and in less than 3 months and they have refused to fix the issue. Please don't buy what fouani can't fix.

Finally bought SRNE ML4860 mppt charge controller. Bought it used 60,000 naira + 10,000 naira (transportation).
Hopefully, it matches my taste else I would sell it.

As per the load being only 20amps, I can't use a charge controller without using that load port Ooo.

I built a couple of things that 70% of my loads don't use your regular inverter.

My Core i7, Core i5, and a couple of other PCs all run directly off 12-volts.
Even my 39-inch LED Tv-Monitor, and the 24-inches LCD monitor, all run directly from 12-volts.
Tv Antenna (the rotating type) runs off a USB port (5-volts). I just comot the transformer wey dey inside, attach USB cable to it and voila, e work.
Routers and Modems all run on 12-volts.

All my Fans are the regular DC fans I bought used from Arena Oshodi + a few I bought from Aboki Condemn which I fix and repurposed to permanently run off 12-volts.

Then I got a couple of high powered Desktop PCs I built; those need more than 12-volts but less than 20-volts due to the nature of work they do.

So you see, a lot of my appliances need direct 12-volts and to keep costs low, while supplying clean power devoid of noise, I use that port + should power run low (less likely but possible), it auto shuts down and wouldn't drain the battery bank enough to cause damage.

For all the charge controllers I got, I use all those ports, (including the USB ports for those that's got it); those that could cause an issue (due to high current draw), I built a circuit for them to ensure the power is clean enough. I try not to use inverters as much as possible. Na only chest freezers and occasionally pumping machine need inverter and those got their own separate installation

Good evening

Please who has experienced charge controller giving extreme high voltage to battery when battery is full? The old Powmr controller with 2 Jinko 590w panels in series connected to it, gave a battery output voltage of over 39v on a 24v system triggering inverter error code 3 and 8.

Has anyone experienced this issue of controller giving out extreme voltage when battery full? What is the way out of this?

Thanks for your reply and happy new week to you.

Good morning chiefs, these are what I have at the moment and their prices.

All with JK Bms
12v 1.95kwh eve 290k (wooden box)
12v 3.5KWH With 100a REPT or hithium cell @ 420k (plastic box)

24v 3.9kwh with 100a BMS Eve cells 570k (. Metal box)
24v 7.1kwh with 200a BMS Rept or hithium cells @ 840k ( metal box)

48v 14.3kwh REPT or hithium 1.6m (metal box)

FEGEITOK:
According to a summary by AI: "For a user prioritizing the longest possible lifespan for a stationary energy storage system, Hithium's high-cycle-life cells may have an edge. For a user seeking a well-known, reliable brand with a proven track record in both EV and ESS, REPT is an excellent choice."

Still torn

For those going for cells, please read the documents well. I've noticed that sellers or manufacturers often quote cycles based on a specific SoH. For instance cell A can be 8000 cycles @70% SoH, while cell B is 6000 cycles @80% SoH.

This doesn't inherently mean cell A has more cycles than cell B, nudging you to think cell A is better than B.

It's all marketing gimmicks

I have a 24v system with 2 tubular batteries and I want to upgrade to lithium. My installer is recommending Taico 5kwh but...

Anyways, is my 3kva felicity inverter compatible with this 7.1kwh and can they communicate or will the settings be done manually? Thank you
